dowel pin with threads on the side ?

Never heard of such a thing. The closest thing I can think of would be a hinged standoff:

I looked through my assortment of dowelpins, I don't have anything that small. By the way, on internally threaded dowel pins, the threaded part is for screwing in a slide hammer for easier removal.

Sound like something a clock parts supplier would be adept at making.

Shouldn't be much of a job for someone with the right small size tooling, but I wouldn't want to tackle it in my home shop.

I'd suggest light table and such support rods - but 1/16" diameter is very thin and 1/4" length is very short. I suspect it is custom.

You don't mention the drill hole in the side - but drill rod would be a source - and then drill, tap and cut to length.
